Make Time for Spring Cleaning
We’ve all heard of spring cleaning. With the renewal of the season, many choose to use this time to refresh their living spaces. It makes sense. The yucky winter months drag in all sorts of dirt and grime. Now’s the time you can open the windows, aerate the home, and apply finishing touches to get everything looking and smelling fresh.
During your spring cleaning, take some time to remove clutter you don’t use. Just looking around at the extra space will help reduce stress.
Get Some Exercise
Even if it’s only for a half hour per day, exercise is a great way to boost your mood, increase energy levels, and enjoy more restful sleep. If you have cardiovascular issues or other health problems, it’s a good idea to speak with your doctor to determine the level of physical activity that’s safe for you.
Take a Moment to Breathe
Deep breathing can lower your heart rate and reduce stress. After you’re done exercising, this can be a great time to go somewhere private and just spend ten minutes focusing on your breath and allowing yourself some time to forcefully forget all your worries.
Spring is a time for renewal. By following these helpful spring self care ideas , you can be on your way to reducing your stress levels and truly enjoying the season.
